Thank you. I read you often and I have now subscribed. I too will never vote for Adam again. I am disgusted by his public display of disloyalty, political ineptitude and self-defeatism. Feh. And there is no way to nominate anyone but our VP Harris. While I worry about racism and misogyny (and being Jewish-adjacent) I’ll work those communities that have signaled they are only ageist. And those alternatives polling well?? Mark Kelly? Are you shitting me? He is center left at best and my experience is that he is woefully ill-informed about way too many issues beyond his limited interests. I love Whitmer but it’s too soon. Thanks for giving me a place to vent. Onward.

I agree.

If the vultures after pushing Biden out then eject Harris, that will totally flush any incumbency advantage, and then Trump will be able to blame the incumbent benefit.

This boils my blood, but I also am a realist, and Biden will be pushed out one way or an other.

The fucking Never Trumpers are really pissing me off because they all have fantasy politics dreams of getting one of their "preferred" dems. Fuck all of them.

Well, I still don't believe Biden will be pushed out one way or the other. He may, but I don't accept that it's foretold already.

It burns my grills though that the very people who are working to push him out, will then if he goes and we lose to the 2025 people say "I told you so! He should have gone sooner". If he doesn't go they'll say "I told you so! He should have gone!" If he goes and we win with anyone else they'll say "I told you so! He had to go!" and if he stays and wins they will say " " crickets. Oh look a rabbit...

You are so right, it “burns my grills too” whatever that is.

This is a no-win situation, but alas, I suspect that the orchestration of mania and hysteria will ultimately lead him to being removed from the ticket. I don't like it, but it sure seems like the chorus of angry cries is growing exponentially.

Sucks, because we will end up losing the benefit of incumbency, even if Harris is the replacement.

The media, and increasingly the "elite" dems smell blood in the water. We look terrible, and regardless of how awful the R's are, they are unified and marching in the same direction.

I swear the Dems are like the Buffalo Bills, and love losing.

And this is my party, has been for almost 40 years since I came of age.

I have always been an Independent. What they are doing to Joe Biden is going to usher in Trump. Such a profound betrayal.

Our National Security depends on Biden’ s foreign policy expertise. Whitmer has no experience there
